@joanland I also have had surgery to remove two Morton’s neuromas in my right foot, almost 30 years ago. In the last two years, the left foot has developed a neuroma and I’m not about to undergo surgery again, so went to my podiatrist for cortisone shots - THE most incredibly painful experience, bar none. Each worked for a couple of weeks only.
I’ve been using gel metatarsal pads to elevate the metatarsals and that helps a bit and they are quite affordable and reuseable) but my walking is limited before the pain starts up. I’m going to start Focused Shockwave Therapy (not Radial because that is more effective for muscle pain and damage) soon and will post some updates here on how it’s working.

Do look into custom orthotics for Morton's neuroma if the over the counter metatarsal pads aren't sufficient. If over the counter metatarsal pads help for a while, then the permanent uplift that can be built into an orthotic may be your answer. Of course, I can't guarantee it, but be certain to explain your symptoms to the orthotist and get her/his opinion on treating a Morton's neuroma and find out the ortotist's experience before committing. I wish you well.
